Natalie stood there thinking for a moment, then she seemed to suddenly recall something, and she hurried back to her office. She opened up her laptop and quickly searched for information about Kara. It turned out that the company had been growing rapidly recently. They needed to get a celebrity as a spokesperson, and if they wanted to rise quickly, they had to find a celebrity who was in line with their brand image and who was trending.
Traditionally, female-oriented cosmetics were endorsed by female celebrities and male-oriented cosmetics by male celebrities. This company didn’t follow that pattern. They had found a popular actress, Tara Mulanowski, to endorse their brand overall, but now they were also looking for a male star to work with them on endorsements. They were preparing to break into the international market and were preparing for this as well.
Natalie thought for a while before searching for different information. Based on the current situation, it seemed to her that all the male A-list celebrities had already been contracted for this kind of endorsement, so there was no way for them to work with Kara. Maybe the company would find a second-echelon actor to endorse their brand. She closed her laptop and stared into the distance, thinking hard.
Although Tony had been in the limelight recently and had also gained quite a few fans, he was not really a male celebrity yet. However, if he could win this endorsement and get exposure to a mass market by riding on the back of Tara Mulanowski’s established profile, it would greatly improve his reputation. She muttered to herself, “That just might work.”
But then she thought of something else. “Hold on a minute, since Ellington had that endorsement document, it looks as if he’s already working to get someone the contract. But who could that be?” She opened up her laptop again and scouted around social media, trying to find out what the gossip on the web was saying about this. “Who are Ellington’s options for this endorsement?” she muttered to herself as she looked at stories on the web.
“Harry Ellington? He has become famous recently, and it seems like he has arrangements already, so it can’t be him. So the only possibility is Curtis Westing. Huh.” She thought to herself, “Curtis Westing has looks and character, but Tony is much superior in both respects. I wonder how many fans he has.” Then she curled her lip. She didn’t think Curtis Westing could compete with Tony, so Tony’s chances of winning were high. Provided that Curtis Westing didn’t play any tricks, Tony could easily win the Kara endorsement.
Natalie didn’t waste any more time. She stood up and headed to the practice room. Tony was still working out in the practice room. His skin was covered with sweat, and the ground below him was wet where his sweat had dripped. He was breathing heavily. Seeing Natalie walk in, he immediately stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, and walked toward her. Tony’s body had developed well because of the hard training. He now had well-defined abs, and the muscles on his arms were ropey and hard. He was full of energy. Tony no longer looked like a boy; he was a strong and powerful man.
Natalie waved at Tony and said, “It’s okay, continue training, but listen.”
Tony nodded, “Okay, sure.”
Natalie continued, “I want to take a few close-up pictures of you. No makeup, no filters.” With that, she picked up her phone and prepared to take the photos. Tony felt a bit awkward and self-conscious. He couldn’t focus on his training, so his actions were a bit awkward. She said, “Try not to be so stiff. Relax. We need some natural photos. Don’t tell me you’re worried that I’ll take ugly photos and release them.”
“Of course not,” said Tony, shaking his head. He knew that Natalie had her own reasons for doing this and that she would absolutely not do anything to harm him. So he relaxed his mind and followed her instructions.
After Natalie had taken a few more photos, she stood there admiring her work. Sure enough, Tony was as good-looking as ever. Strong and attractive. “Perfect,” she muttered to herself. She immediately opened her social media account and added some of the new photos there, adding captions: “Close-up shots of a star working his body. Don’t miss them.” She smiled as the images were posted. After a short while, the post had gained traction. Three hundred thousand likes. Pretty good.
She flipped through the fans’ comments, who were excited and ecstatic. Tony’s appeal to his fans just seemed to get stronger and stronger. Some fans were even saying that they wanted to marry Tony. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud as she flipped through the comments. As she scrolled down, she saw that some of the fans were referring back to the optimal photoshoot, urging her to become an actress. Natalie looked at the screen and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She then contacted the media and got the post promoted more widely. The number of likes and comments on her social media accounts rocketed. Eventually, her social media pages found their way into the top search lists. Over the next few days, these news articles on social media became more and more popular and occupied the headlines. Tony’s popularity increased, and the number of his fans also increased rapidly.
Although these social media results were pretty good, there was still no news from Kara. Unfortunately, Natalie didn’t have a way to contact the Kara company directly. She was gradually becoming disappointed. It seemed to her that her bid to attract Kara’s attention to Tony was not working. Natalie had put in a lot of effort to bring Tony out of the shadows and into the limelight, but her recent tactics to gain Kara’s attention didn’t seem to be working. Will she be able to bag the endorsement, or will Ellington get it for Curtis?
